IntroductionTJB Cymru (TJB) were commissioned by the Llansannan CommunityCouncil to help identify the needs of the communities of Llansannan,Bylchau and Y Groes and to consider the potential projects that would beneeded to develop services/projects that would meet those needs.The Council wished to undertake a community consultation exercise inwhich the community could express opinions, desires and ideas for futuredevelopment.A Community Appraisal Event was planned for the Llansannan Show held inthe Community Centre, Llansannan on Monday, 25 August 2008 and in theCommunity Centre, y Groes on Thursday evening 16 October 2008. Thepurpose of this appraisal was to start a dialogue with, and learn from, thecommunity regarding their requirements and needs in the future. It wasalso used to generate ideas from members of the community.A visit from TJB staff to Ysgol Bro Aled and Rhydgaled Bro Cernyw on 18September 2008 to facilitate a session with children of years 6 and 7 togather their views.In addition to these events question sheets were prepared for the use ofthe Community Council. These question sheets were available tocouncillors and other volunteers to enable them to gather informationfrom residents that could not attend the events.TJB Cymru Cyf (TJB) was also commissioned to develop the capacity ofCommunity Council to facilitate the event. The work programme was asfollows:&#56256;&#56451; meetings were held between the Council and TJB to discussrequirements and prepare for the events&#56256;&#56451; TJB developed a suite of participatory activities which could beused at the events&#56256;&#56451; a bespoke training session for members of the Council/Volunteerswas held on August 18th 2008&#56256;&#56451; TJB prepared the question sheets&#56256;&#56451; the Community Council facilitated the events on 25 August 2008and 16 October 2008 with support from TJB6&#56256;&#56451; TJB to analyse the findings, prepare a report and report back onconclusionsThe main purpose of the Programme was to increase the capacity ofCouncil members and other volunteers to undertake participatorycommunity appraisals. This will have left skills within the group abouttechniques and activities that they have learned and practised during theevent which should give them the confidence to undertake this type ofconsultation without outside support in the future.2. The TrainingThe training session was held at the Community Centre Llansannan on 18thAugust 2008. Three members of the Council were present.Following a discussion on the theory of community development andcommunity appraisals, the evening was held in a workshop style with theparticipants being given the opportunity to try out the techniques beforebeing instructed on how to facilitate their use.The final part of the training session was used to plan the event includingthe allocation of tasks to individuals and noting the resources required onthe day.3. The EventsThe first event was held as part of the Llansannan Show in theCommunity Centre, Llansannan on Monday 25 August 2008. It wasarranged that part of the Community Centre was allocated to be used forthe participatory appraisal activities. Other parts of the Centre wereused to show produce that was entered in the Shows competitions. It wasa dry, windy day and a god number of local residents attended the Show.The interest and response to the participatory appraisal activities wasvery god and we can consider the event as being very successful.The second event was held in the Community Centre Groes as part acoffee evening that was organised by the Community Centre Committeeon Thursday 16 October 2008. It was arranged that part of theCommunity Centre was allocated to be used for the participatoryappraisal activities while people had cups of tea and coffee in the otherparts of the Centre. It was relatively dry evening and a good number oflocal residents attended. The interest and response to the participatory7appraisal activities was very good and we can consider the event as beingsuccessful.TJB staff visited Ysgol Bro Aled and Ysgol Rhydgaled on the 18thSeptember 2008 to gather the views of children in years 6 and 7. Thechildren responded extremely well and the staffs of both schools werevery welcoming, helpful and took a great deal of interest in the childrensresponses.The techniques that were used are from a family of techniques known asParticipatory Appraisal (PA). PA is a methodology that creates a cycle ofgathering data, reflection and learning - and hence action. The methodsused are highly visual, which means that they can overcome potentialliteracy problems, provide a focus while an issue is discussed, simplifycomplex issues and stimulate people's memory.PA is highly flexible. It can be used both with small groups and withwhole communities. It can be used wherever people are to be found: intheir homes, in pubs, at shop corners and so on. It does not depend onpeople coming together for meetings.The following sections discuss the participatory activities that were usedas well as the results obtained.4. Methods and Techniques used in the Events4.1 Ideas WallDisgrifiadDescriptionThis activity was prepared as an opportunity for members of thecommunity to identify any ideas that they may have to improve villagelife. Similarly an idea placed on the ideas wall, no matter how farfetched,could in turn spark off another persons train of thought leading, perhaps,to a more viable idea.The wall was made of display panels covered with paper and bricksdrawn on the paper. Each brick was available for a participant to write anidea on. To avoid duplication, if individuals agreed with an idea alreadyplaced on the wall they were able to indicate this by placing a tick on thatidea and if they disagreed, a cross.84.2 Living in Llansannan/Bylchau/Y GroesDescriptionIn this activity we investigate what it is that people like about living in anarea and what they dont like. The importance of this exercise is to showwhat is important to local people and we must be careful not to interferetoo much with the things that people like about living in a certain area. Onthe other hand people may be less averse to change the things theydislike so these may be viewed as priorities for change by the CommunityCouncil.For this activity two different types of A4 paper were prepared, one cutout in shape of a T shirt (Top) and the second in the shape ofunderwear (Pants). On the T shirt shaped sheets was the statementThe thing I like most about living in Llansannan/Groes is . and on theunderwear shaped sheets was The thing I like least about living inLlansannan/Groes is  A washing line was place across the room andpeople were encouraged to peg the clothes (the completed sheets) onthe washing line using clothes pegs.4.3 Commenting on IssuesDescriptionThe Council members had taken the opportunity during the trainingsession to discuss areas of work and campaigning issues that the Councilcould become involved in during the next few years. These were:&#9830; Housing&#9830; Safety&#9830; Health&#9830; Education/Training&#9830; Information&#9830; Traffic/Parking&#9830; Shops/Post&#9830; Services&#9830; Transport&#9830; VolunteeringAn exercise was devised in order for participants to consider theseissues and comment on them.9Each issue was noted on a sheet of flipchart paper, which was displayedon a table. Each participant was given post-it notes and a pen and asked towrite their comments on a post-it note and place them on the relevantpaper showing the issues.4.4 My Main WorryIn each event we showed a statement on a flipchart with the phrase MyMain Worry is...... Participants were asked to finish the sentence bywriting on a post it note and placing it on the flipchart. At face value thisexercise could be viewed as one that asks for personal views but, as it isused in conjunction with other activities, people respond by thinking ofthemselves as a community rather than individuals. The purpose of thisactivity was to identify the main worries within the communities, i.e. whatdo people really believe is the problem within their community.4.5 Mapping (activity with school children)Community mapping is one of the most useful and flexible of theParticipatory Appraisal tools. It allows participants to use visual anddiagrammatical techniques to draw a Picture of their community(Llansannan, Bylchau or Y Groes) and show the places that are importantto them. The places of importance in a community can be different fordifferent groups within that community and are usually shown as beinglarger than the scale of the rest of the map. Another important factorwas that the children worked in groups based on the villages where theylived and were able to discuss between themselves what was important.The groups were also asked to show the places/things they liked aboutthe village and the places/things they disliked. This was done by placinggreen dots on the places they liked and red dots on places they disliked.They were asked to note their reasons for liking/disliking somewhere onthe dots.Mapping can have a number of uses: Drawing allows everyone to participate as the ability to read andwrite is not required Matter that require further investigation can beidentified10 It is the perception of participants about theircommunity that is shown A large amount of information can be gathered People discuss issues around the map They can be used to highlight areas of change. They can be used to allow different sections of thecommunity to understand each others viewpoints4.6 Question SheetIt was decided that a toll to enable the Community Councillors to gatherthe opinions of local residents would be useful and after a discussionabout the subjects to be covered TJB were asked to prepare a questionsheet.The following subjects were decided upon:&#9830; Traffic  what and where are the traffic problems in the area?&#9830; Parking  is currently available parking suitable? Where are theproblems if they exist?&#9830; Shops  where do people shop? Is there support for the localshop/post office?&#9830; Services  what services are hard to reach?&#9830; Transport  how do people travel around the area?&#9830; Volunteering  what is the impact of volunteering in the area?Why do people volunteer? Where do they volunteer?&#9830; Information  Do people receive timely information?&#9830; Education/Training for Adults  is there a demand for AdultEducation? What subjects do they want to study?&#9830; Children and Young People  are there enough things for them todo?&#9830; Older people  what worries them?&#9830; Socialising  where do people meet? What clubs and societiesexist? What activities are people involved in?&#9830; Housing what is their perception of the housing situation?&#9830; Safety  do people feel safe in their homes and community?&#9830; Main Worry what worries people most?As well as the above, participants were asked to note where in the areathey lived. There was also an exercise bas don where I live.. which hadthe same purpose as the T shirt and underpants exercise in the events.11Following the preparation of the Question Sheet, individuals were trainedin its use with groups in their community.The main methodology used in the Question Sheet was a sentencecompletion toll. The opening words of a sentence were decided upon in asession with Community Councillors e.g. The thing I like most about livingin the Llansannan/Bylchau/Groes is  Other techniques used wereunderlining statements e.g. Alcohol is a problem in this area or Alcoholis not a problem in this area. When using this technique, the responsesare always qualified by sentence completion exercise such as I think thisbecause.....125.

There was also an idea to establisha community cafe and meals on wheels service for older people.5.2 Living in LlansannanThe results are grouped under headings yet again. This exercise isimportant as it shows the things that are important to local people andcare should be taken when any changes are put forward that impinge onthese. On the other hand things that are noted under the section likeleast show the things that local people are most likely to accept changeto, and can become short term aims.Again the responses are noted in the language used (translation in italics).5.2.1 The thing I like most about living in Llansannan is .The Community&#9830; Everyone is very friendly&#9830; Byw mewn gymuned gyfeillgar, wledig, Gymraeg (Living in afriendly, rural, Welsh community)14&#9830; Y bobl  yn gyfeillgar ac yn barod i gefnogi eu gilydd (the people friendly and ready to support each other)&#9830; The people are so nice&#9830; Friendly village&#9830; Bod ffrindiau fi ddim yn bell o fi (my friends are not far away)&#9830; Byw yn y wlad a bod yn rhan o bentref gyfeillgar Cymraeg!

Theenvironment of the village and its location are also important to residents.5.2.2 The thing I like least about living in Llansannan is .Resources/Facilities&#9830; Bod y toiledau ddim yn agored neu yn fudr o hyd!  mae nhw ynhandi er bo fin byw mor agos (that the toilets are closed oralways dirty  they are handy even though I live so close)&#9830; Cyflwr ofnadwyr toiledau cyhoeddus (terrible condition of thepublic toilets)&#9830; Shop shut on Saturday afternoon&#9830; Pavilion clubroom smells musty&#9830; Not a lot of interest in local playing fields & sports&#9830; Threats to Post Office very bad  we must fight closure!15Housing&#9830; Prisiau rhai or tai sydd ar werthu yma (the Price of houses forsale here)&#9830; Prinder tai au pris o fewn cyrraedd y Cymry lleol (the lack ofhousing and that they are out of reach of local people)Other&#9830; Fod rhai or pobl syn dod yma i fyw yn penderfynu bod yn ddieithr(some people who come here decide to be strangers)CommentIt was noted that some of the facilities in the village required attention,the main one being the public toilets, but there are also comments on thelocal shop, play & sports facilities and the Post Office.5.3 Comments on IssuesThe comments on the issues identified by the Council were:Housing&#9830; More affordable housing, maybe a block of flats?&#9830; Tai fforddiadwy i bobl lleol (7 tic) (affordable housing for localpeople (7 ticks))&#9830; Tai i bobl ifanc (1 tic) (houses for young people (1 tick))&#9830; Need more affordable housing in the village for young people asthey cannot afford to live here!&#9830; Tai i bobl lleol  fforddiadwy!

They also like the environmentthey live in especially the peacefulness. The shop is also important tothem. They like the facilities in the park/playground and they are veryaware of recycling issues.The thing I like least about living in Llansannan is.......The Pubs/Smoking&#9830; Pobl yn smocio tu allan ir Red Lion (people smoking outside the RedLion)&#9830; Pobl yn smocio ac yn ddrwg (people smoking  bad)&#9830; Pobl yn smocio (people smoking)&#9830; Dwi ddim yn hoffir pubs (I dont like the pubs)&#9830; Pobl yn smocio tu allan (people smoking outside)&#9830; Y Saracens Head oherwydd mae na gormod o ysmygu yn y tŷ ac tuallan ac pobl yn drync (the Saracens Head because there is toomuch smoking in the house and outside and people are drunk)The Park&#9830; Y Parc (the park)&#9830; Y Parc (the park)&#9830; Y Parc (the park)Cars/Traffic&#9830; Ceir (cars)&#9830; Byw yn ymyl lle mae llawer o geir (living near somewhere with a lotof cars)&#9830; Y ceir yn pasio yn y boreau a nos (cars passing in the morning andat night)&#9830; Y Ceir (the cars)Toilets&#9830; Dwi ddim yn hoffir toilede oherwydd mae nhw yn drewi ac ddim yngweithio (I dont like the toilets because they smell and dontwork)24&#9830; Maer toiledau wedi malu (the toilets are broken)&#9830; `dwi ddim yn hoffir tŷ bach sydd yn y cae chwarae ac y toiledesydd o flaen y Post Office (I dont like the toilet in the playgroundand the ones by the Post Office)Isolation&#9830; Ei fod yn eithaf pell o bob man (Its quite far from everywhere)&#9830; Mae o yn bell o bob man (Its far from everywhere)Other&#9830; Adar swnllyd (noisy birds)&#9830; Mae na llawer o g&#373;n ar ei stryd ni (theres a lot of dogs on ourstreet)&#9830; Dwi ddim yn hoffir tîm pêl droed (I dont like the football team)&#9830; Dim byd  mae Llansannan yn grêt (nothing  Llansannan is great)&#9830; Yr hoglau p&#373; sydd di cael ei spreadio (the smell that is spread)&#9830; Rwyn credu bod ddim digon o bethau iw wneud (I think that therearent enough things to do)Comment: The law change that prevents people smoking in public placesmeans that smokers now have to stand outside the pubs to smoke. Thechildren are intimidated by this and it worries them. The speed of trafficis again noted as is the state of public toilets. There is an element ofisolation show with the children noting the Llansannan is far fromeverywhere.255.5.3 MappingMap 1Places noted:&#9830; Cae Chwarae (playground)&#9830; Y (the) Red Lion&#9830; Biniau Ailgylchu (recycling bins)&#9830;

Thelocal environment is also important with a number noting that it is a nice,safe place to live. People also like living close to friends and family. Youngpeople like the local amenities/resources)5.6.1.2 The things I like least about living in Llansannan, Bylchauand Y Groes are...Location&#9830; The longest mile is the last mile home  but it is my choice to livehere&#9830; It is quite far from shops etc&#9830; Far from Rhyl&#9830; Ddim yn gallu cerdded i Llan (cant walk to the village)Behaviour&#9830; Mae carfan fechan yn creu helynt yn achlysurol (a small numbersometimes cause trouble)&#9830; Bobol sydd yn yfed (people who drink)Lack of resources/services&#9830; Gwasanaeth gwael ar fysiau i Ddinbych (poor service on Denbighbuses)&#9830; Nad ydym byth yn gweld yr Heddlu o gwmpas cefn gwlad (we dontsee police in the rural areas)&#9830; Dim gwersi croesi ffordd (no lessons on how to cross the road)&#9830; dim digon o le parcio (not enough parking)&#9830; No shops&#9830; The shop&#9830; shop&#9830; Football field&#9830; Park&#9830; Park could be better&#9830; nothing apart from youth club for young people to do37Young Peoples Voice&#9830; Young peoples views are not valued&#9830; bod syniadau bobl ifanc ddim yn cael eu cymeryd yn seriws (youngpeoples ideas are not taken seriously)&#9830; Young people not heardOther&#9830; Nothing&#9830; Drab decorations outside of house in particular OAP Bungalows&#9830; Dim byd (nothing)&#9830; Too quiet&#9830; Hen bobol (old people)&#9830; Ddim yn gwybod (dont know)Comment: Some complain about the location of the village and the lackof resources is mentioned by two adults (public transport and the police)and nine young people. Young people feel that the lack of resources hasmore of an impact on them. There are two comments on antisocialbehaviour5.6.1.3 The things I would change about Llansannan, Bylchau andY Groes are... .Resources/Services&#9830; Carwn weld y Cyngor Sir yn ein trin yn gydradd  cael ffordd lan,blodau del  mae llawer o wasanaethau ar gael i bobl yr arfordir (Iwould like the County Council to treat us equally  nice road, lovelyflowers  there are a lot of services available to people on thecoast)&#9830; Mwy o Heddlu yn yr ardal (more police in the area)&#9830; Better support for people with learning difficulties&#9830; Improve the Park(children need to have fun)&#9830; Longer opening hours for the shopRoads/Traffic&#9830; Speed limitEnvironment38&#9830; Brighten up the place and give people more incentive to keep ittidy&#9830; improve ParkYoung People&#9830; Young peoples council&#9830; Young peoples council&#9830; More activitiesOther&#9830; Dim (nothing)&#9830; My kids in my year group that go to my school&#9830; prices in shop&#9830; Hen bobol (old people)&#9830; Ddim yn gwybod (dont know)Comment: there is a general feeling that Llansannan is isolated on theedge of the County of Conwy and therefore losing out on resources andservices. The speed of traffic and the tidiness of the village are alsonoted. The idea of setting up a Youth Council in the village has been putforward by young people.5.6.2. TrafficMy feelings about traffic/roadsafety in the area are This is because That to many people speed throughthe village and do not obey the 30mph signGoryrru (speeding)Speeding vehicles seems to be anongoing problemSpeed outside the school seems toreach dangerous levelsCrossing from the Red Lion to thePost Office seems quite dangerousfor the infirmVehicles sweep around the bend -they cant see pedestrians andpedestrians cant see themGyrru yn ddiofal trwyr pentref(careless driving in the village)Pobl methu gweld a deall beth maerarwyddion yn olygu (people cant seeor understand the road signs)39Traffig yn rhy gyflym trwyr pentref(traffic speeding through the village)Y cloddiau/gwrychoedd yn gordyfu(the walls/hedges to high)Gwelediad yn wael i draffig mewnrhai mannau (Vision poor for driversin some places)Gyrwyr di-hid yn gyrru trwyr Llan(careless drivers driving through thevillage)Road surfaces are very poor in theareaSpeed limitCars and tractors go to fastthroughout hamletOutside the school Passing traffic going to fastThere are some problemsPobl yn gyrru (people speeding)Rwyf yn dygymod ar traffig (I cancope with the traffic)Nid ywn drwm iawn (its not veryheavy)The area around the junction ofFfordd Gogor congested at timesParked cars etc cause the road to benarrow.

The reasonsgiven for the problems  the need for a car park near the school and badparking near the Post and Shop. The height of hedges in some places isalso mentioned.Young people are of the view that young drivers may be racing around thearea.5.6.3.

People find TVreception in Bryn Rhyd yr Arian difficult.5.6.6. TransportThe way I mostly get around is... The places I find difficult to getto are...CarCarCarYn ein cerbyd ein hunain (owntransport)Mewn car (in a car)Ar y bws (on the bus) Dinbych (Denbigh)Own vehicleCar  use the bus occasionallyCar as local bus service is veryinfrequent to Denbigh where mybusiness is enactedCerdded ac mewn moto (walking andin a car)Mewn car (in a car)Car I dont like going to Llanrwstbecause I dont like driving on theroad from Llangernyw to LlanrwstYn ein Car (in our car) Dim a dweud y gwir (nowhere really)Llew Jones bus service EverywhereBus is irregular And not very oftencar45carcarBus to school hospitalNunlle (nowhere)busMum and dads taxieverywherecar or bus home from AbergeleSometimes I miss the last bus, Ican be stranded, its getting towinter so its getting darkerComment: Most people note that they use a car as their mainform of transport. There are some complaints about the bus service toDenbigh. The comments from young people show that they have troublegetting around and that they depend on their parents to carry them.5.6.7.

Low wages and job security are also seen as abarrier to first time buyers. The fact that relatively large houses arebeing built in the area and that local people are priced out of the marketis noted. Young people see the situation differently, however, in that it isquite good overall.5.6.14.

There are calls for clubs/activities for children of all ages.Some would like improved facilities in the Park and also to provide lightingin the Park. The importance of the Hall for childrens activities ishighlighted.People see a loss after the shop and some want it to reopen. There is alsoa call for better transport in the area and an idea has been put forwardto use Ysgol Rhydgaleds minibus as community transport.6.2 Living in Y GroesThe results have been grouped together under the appropriate headings.This exercise is valuable because it shows issues of importance to localpeople and care should be taken when undertaking any development planthat these issues are not compromised. Conversely the not so goodcategory shows areas of improvement that are already recognised bylocal people and could become short-term aims.Again the responses are noted in the language used.6.2.1 The thing I like most about living in Y Groes is .Friends&#9830; Mae yna digon o lefydd i gyfarfod ein ffrindiau yma (there areplenty of places to meet friends here)&#9830; That we can see our friends and that there is something to do forthe older children 11-16&#9830; The only god thing about Groes is the park and seeing our friends&#9830; Dim byd heblaw am ffrindiau (nothing except for friends)The environment&#9830; Quiet & ruralResources/facilities&#9830; Yr ysgol. Heb yr ysgol ni fase llawer o gymuned ar Ôl yma (theschool. Without the school there would be no community lefthere)&#9830; Ysgol Rhydgaled  plant hapus (happy children)Other62&#9830; Dim byd  does dim iw wneud (Nothing  nothing to say)CommentA number note the closeness of friends as being an important factor whypeople like living here as is the fact that its a quiet village. The school ishighly praised.6.2.2 The thing I like least about living in Y Groes is .Community&#9830; Know thy neighbour club&#9830; Lack of a real community&#9830; Diffyg cymuned pro-actif  y gymuned yn dirywio yn gyflym iawnyma trwy diffyg cyfleoedd a siop (the lack of a pro-activecommunity  the community is going downhill due to lack ofopportunities and a shop)Activities&#9830; Does dim byd i wneud heblaw am y parc (nothing to do except thepark)&#9830; Dim digon o weithgareddau (not enough activities)&#9830; Because theres not much things to do for the kids  there is onlya little bit of things to do&#9830; That there is no clubs at all here so it is very boring here&#9830; That theres not much things to doOther&#9830; Popeth (everything)Comment:There are some comments about the lack of community feeling in thevillage and that maybe the members of the community need to gettogether more to get things done. Again the lack of activities is noted,especially for children and young people.6.3 Commenting on issuesThe comments on the issues highlighted by the Community Council wereas follows:Housing63&#9830; Angen cynnig grantiau (cadwraethol) i bobl lleol gael aros yngnghefn gwlad mewn hen adeiladau  byddai hyn yn helpu hefocartrefu pobl a gwellar amgylchedd (need to offer grants(conservation) for people to live in old buildings  this would helpwith hosing people and improving the environment)&#9830; Gwneud rheolau cynllunio yn fwy rhesymol er mwyn cadw pobl lleolyng nghefn gwlad (make planning laws more reasonable in order tokeep local people in the countryside)&#9830; Tai fforddiadwy i deuluoedd (affordable houses for families)&#9830; Angen mwy o dai fforddiadwy (more affordable housing)&#9830; Angen mwy o dai maint teulu i bobl lleol (more family homesrequired)&#9830; Affordable housing for younger people&#9830; Dim eisiau diboblogi gwledig (dont want rural depopulation)&#9830; Tai i bobl leol (houses for local people)&#9830; Dim mwy o tai oherwydd mae yna rhy gormod (no more houses orthere will be too many)Comment: A call for more affordable housing  through grants ormaking land available/slackening planning laws.

Theirworries regarding speeding traffic and rubbish are again mentioned.Upgrading the park facilities is noted again as is the fact that they wouldlike to see the village being expanded. The loss of the shop is apparent.756.5.3 MappingMap 1Placed mentioned&#9830; Park&#9830; Hall&#9830; Houses&#9830; Field near Hall&#9830; Bus Shelter&#9830; Recycling Bins&#9830; Old shop&#9830; Chapel&#9830; Main Road&#9830; Minor Roads&#9830; Speed signs  50mph and 30 mph&#9830; Post Box&#9830; Bronallt&#9830; Tan y Clogwyn&#9830; Farm76&#9830; New Park&#9830; Bin&#9830; Garage&#9830; Trees between Tan y Clogwyn and village entranceThe places they like are:&#9830; Hall  Mae lle i wneud ymarfer corff a mwy (theres space tohave physical exercise and more)&#9830; Park  Mae angen mwy o bethau hefyd (need more things)&#9830; Main Road  traffic sign 30mph - speed&#9830; Recycling Bins  i helpu yr amgylchedd (to help with theenvironment)&#9830; Chapel  capel da (good chapel)&#9830; Trees between Tan y Clogwyn and village entrance - chwaraembo (play, mbo)&#9830; Farm  achos mae on fferm ac mae pob fferm yn hwyl (becauseits a farm and all farms are fun)&#9830; New Park  maen dda ond mae angen mwy o bethau (its good butneeds more things)&#9830; Post Box  i rhoi llythyrau (to put letters)&#9830; Back of some houses  lle da i chwarae cuddio (good place toplay, hide & seek)&#9830; Bin  (&#8730;)The places they dislike are:&#9830; Garage  achos mae nhw yn fudr (because theyre dirty)&#9830; Houses gormod o dai (too many houses)&#9830; Bus shelter  mae tu mewn yn flêr ac yn drewi (the inside isuntidy and it smells)&#9830; Hall&#9830; Field by Hall  angen hel y droppings (need to pick up droppings)&#9830; Main road sign 50mph  speed&#9830; Old Shop  achos mae wedi cau ac yn flêr (because its closedand untidy)&#9830; Farm  codi pobl i fyny (picks people up)&#9830; Park  bach yn boring (a bit boring)&#9830; Houses  angen tacluso (need tidying)77Map 2Places noted&#9830; Main Roads&#9830; Minor Roads&#9830; Signs - Pentrefoelas, Denbigh and Rhydgaled&#9830; Chapel&#9830; Chapel House&#9830; Chapel Car Park&#9830; Roundabout?

There is astrong sense of community in Groes. The location is felt to be convenientand is felt to be a safe place. A number, including young people note thattheres not a lot to do in the village.6.6.1.2 the things I like least about living in Llansannan, Bylchauand Y Groes are...Lack of socialising&#9830; Diffyg cyfathrebu/cyfleoedd i gymdeithasu a chyfnewidgwybodaeth (Lack of communication/opportunities to socialise andexchange information)&#9830; Lack of community spirit&#9830; No community&#9830; Dim siop na ffrindiau (no shop or friends)Language&#9830; Clywed plant yn siarad Saesneg er eu bod yn gallur Gymraeg.(hearing children playing in English even though they can speakWelsh)Young People&#9830; Hefyd ddim yn hoffi gweld pobl ifanc yn ymgynnull wrth y lle bwsyn hwyr yn y nos. (also dont like seeing young people congregatearound the bus stop late in the evening)Environment&#9830; Dim yn hoffi gweld sbwriel ar hyd y lle e.e. caniau cwrw er bod ybin ailgylchu wrth ymyl! (dont like seeing the rubbish around theplace e.g. beer cans even though the recycling bins are nearby)Depopulation&#9830; Y ffaith fod nifer o bobl ifanc yn symud or ardal i gael swyddi  yrun bobl sydd yn gorfod cynnal pob dim (the fact that a number ofyoung people move out of the area to find jobs - the same peoplehave to carry on everything)&#9830; Angen mwy o dai i gael mwy o blant yn yr ysgol (need more peopleto get more children in the school)85Lack of resources&#9830; No local shop for basic necessities&#9830; Nad oes siop yn y pentref.

Young people also feel that the lack of activities has an effecton them.6.6.1.3 The things that I would like to change about Llansannan,Bylchau and y Groes is .........Activities&#9830; Mwy o bethau iw gwneud (more things to do)&#9830; Clybiau yn y Neuadd fel clybiau chwaraeon a clybiau ieuenctid(clubs in the Hall such as sports clubs and youth clubs)&#9830; More things to do&#9830; More things to do&#9830; More dance classes in the Hall, more clubsResources&#9830; Hoffwn weld rhywbeth yn cael ei wneud hefor siop  roedd arferbod yn ganolbwynt ond nawr maen edrych yn flêr, felly un fforddneur llall maen bryd gwneud rhywbeth hefor lle (I would like tosee something done with the shop  it used to be central but nowlooks untidy, therefore one way or another its time to dosomething about the place)&#9830; Cael y siop yn Ôl (get the shop back)&#9830; Cael broadband (get broadband )&#9830; Ail agor y siop (reopen the shop)&#9830; Golwg siop y pentref(the look of the shop in the village)&#9830; Facilities for children & young people&#9830; A little shop or something in Groes&#9830; The shop and garage area looking run down&#9830; adeiladu canolfan amlbwrpas yn mhentref Groes  ysgol, capel aneuadd gymunedol o dan un to, mewn un adeilad newydd (build amulti use centre in the village of Groes  school, chapel and aCommunity Hall under one roof, in one new building)&#9830; Shop&#9830; Better bus servicesDepopulation&#9830; Diffyg tai i deuluoedd Cymreig (Cymraeg a di-Gymraeg) (lack ofhouses for Welsh families (welsh speakers and non Welshspeakers)87Roads/Traffic&#9830; Y cyflymder m.y.a. drwyr pentref  gostwng (the speed mphthrough the village)&#9830; Gwella ffordd A543(improve the A543)&#9830; Communication&#9830; The traffic by putting speed camerasOther&#9830; Ddim y tywydd (not the weather)&#9830; the weather&#9830; everything&#9830; more stuff&#9830; everythingComment: Again lack of services and activities are noted.

The religious societies such as the chapelare also quite strong. There seems to be a lack of social activities such as a Youth Club that makes it difficult for young people to socialise in thearea. It is through school that they socialise most. This is a difficult situation for young people especially when considered against the lack oftransport mentioned earlier.1086.6.13. HousingI think that the housing situationin the area is I think this because Drist. Dau dŷ haf o fewn milltir i miyn y 5 mlynedd diwethaf. Dylai poblifanc/lleol fod wedi cael y cyfle iwfforddio. Angen grantiau i achub henadeiladau amaethyddol/diwylliannoler mwyn i bobl ifanc gaelymgartrefu ynddynt (sad. Twosummer homes within a mile of me inthe last 5 years. Young/local peopleshould be able to afford them. Needgrants to save oldindustrial/agricultural buildings sothat young people can live in them. )Dlawd iawn. Maen anodd i bobl ifanclleol syn gweithio ac yn cyfrannu irgymuned gael tŷ  mae hyn yn tlodirgymuned mewn mwy nag un ffordd(very poor. It is difficult for youngpeople who work and contribute tothe community to get a house  thisweakens the community in more thanone way)Bur wael o ran dewis yn enwedig tai3/4 llofft. Ambell i fyngalo ondprinder tai teuluol fforddiadwy(quite poor for choice, especially for3 or 4 bedroom houses. Somebungalows but not many affordablefamily houses )Weddol ir henoed ond wan iawn ideuluoedd (ok for older people butvery weak for young people)Fod nifer or tai cyngor wedi euprynu a dim mwy o dai 3 llofft argael yma oherwydd nad ywr Cyngorwedi gollwng tir  y Cyngor synberchen tir o gwmpas y pentref(alot of council houses sold and nomore 3 bedroom houses availablebecause the Council hasnt released109the land)Annigonol.

Nid oes tai fforddiadwy yma buasai hyn yn help ir gymuned acir ysgol yn Rhydgaled (Bad.

There is a call for more 3 or 4 bed housesfor families and the sale of Council house is blamed for this. On the otherhand, we see that some people (old and young) view the situation as beinggood on the whole.1106.6.14. SafetyDraw a line under the statements you believe to be true:I feel safe in my home 26orI dont feel safe in my home----------------------------------------------------------I feel safe in my community 27orI dont feel safe in my communityComment: No participant has indicated that they dont feel safe intheir home or community.6.6.15. My Main Worry is...Changing society&#9830; Dechrau poeni  oherwydd hyn syn digwydd yn y dref cyfagos.Cymdeithas yn newid yn gyflym. (Starting to worry  because ofwhats happening in the local town. Society is changing quickly)Crime&#9830; Dwyn eiddo megis olew tanwydd. Ardal Groes yn hawdd i bobldrafeilio trwyddi yn sydyn a dwyn pethau. (Stealing property suchas heating oil. The Groes area is easy for people to drive throughquickly and steal things)&#9830; Y dwyn syn mynd ymlaen a bod safler heddlu yn mynd yn bellach ohyd. Rydym ni o dan ardal Abergele sydd filltiroedd i ffwrdd onddim ond 3 milltir sydd i Ddinbych(the stealing going on and thepolice are further away than ever. We are under Abergele whichis miles away but only 3 miles from Denbigh )&#9830; Fan wen syn dwyn o gwmpas ardaloedd gwledig (the white vanstaling around the area )Business/Jobs&#9830; Dim sÔn am helpu creu swyddi/busnesau yn yr holiadur. Unedaubusnes bach hwyrach yn syniad i greu swyddi yn yr ardal. Gwneudsi&#373;r fod broadband ar gael i bawb gan gynnwys ffermydd a thaiynysig. (No mention of jobs/business in the questionnaire. Smallbusiness units may be an idea to create jobs in the area. We need111to make broadband available to everyone including farms andisolated houses )Environment&#9830; fod cymaint o lanast, sbwriel yn cael ei daflu ar y ffyrdd a chaeauyr ardal (that there is so much mess, rubbish being thrown on theroads and fields in the area)Traffic&#9830; The traffic&#9830; my brothers or sisters getting run over or something like that&#9830; speeding cars&#9830; speeding carsResources&#9830; diffyg adnoddau i bobl ifanc (lack of resources for young people)&#9830; not having enough stuff and boringOther&#9830; getting older and not being able to go to Denbigh to see myfriends&#9830; it is boringComment: Speeding traffic is the thing that worries people most whilstsome are concerned with crime in the area. Young people note the lack ofresources in the area and the lack of support for business (especially lackof broadband) is noted. Another worry is the amount of rubbish aroundthe area.1127. Suggested Next StepsTJB would recommend that the next steps to be taken by LlansannanCommunity Council are: Prepare a list of areas of interest/possible projects from thisreport Invite residents to a reporting back event (possibly Saturdayafternoon or evening)  copies of this report could be madeavailable Invite residents to prioritise areas of interest/possible projects Invite residents to submit new ideas Produce a prioritised Action Plan for each villageEach project in the Action Plan would then need a Project Plan. This wouldinclude answering the following questions: What do we want to achieve?  Aim How we will do it?  Tasks What will we need to make it happen?  Resources When will it happen?  Timescales Who is to lead?  Responsibility What will success be?  Outcomes How will we know it has worked?  EvaluationOnce this has been completed Llansannan Community Council could thensecure resources for a project and proceed with the Project Plan. Someprojects may be short term and/or require little or no resources; othersmay be long term and/or require substantial resources.
